April 27, 2010 The key to being indestructible is getting oiled up from head to toe.

April 27, 2008 We're using tilt controls.

April 1997 Sony sold a home dev kit via mail order called Net Yaroze. Games could be programmed & compiled on a PC then sent to the black PlayStation via a serial cable. Games could be shared in an official Usenet group with other owners. Many appeared on demo discs from OPM & PS Underground.

April 24, 2016 PAXAMANIA II The first time PAX put League of Heels on the main stage and the first time someone got shoot injured. A ghost interfered, kaiju monsters invaded, a snake man hypnotized everyone into dancing, Shuhei Yoshida appeared, and very little wrestling occurred.

April 25, 1997 You think your fighting game has a big roster? Is it over 200 characters like Tobal 2? Yeah, didn’t think so.

April 24, 2001 Working Designs: “We localize these niche games from Japan. How are we gonna get people to notice?” Marketing: “Dude, we’re gonna make the boxes so f’n shiny.”

April 24, 2007 I was actually handed this while walking past the Turbine booth at the first PAX East in 2010. Pretty wild for free booth swag.

April 24, 2000 The best expansion pack of all time.

This shirt from TheYetee just made me realize that Banjo is just Billy Bob from ShowBiz Pizza in the 80s.

April 23, 2016 The Mario Maker World Championships: @patrickklepek.bsky.social vs @danryckert.com

April 23, 2019 Characters encountering their younger selves is always fun. But what about kids encountering their younger parents?

April 23, 2021 The best game to feature an irrational number in the title.

April 22, 2016 Originally shown as Project Guard, a tech demo at E3 2014, Star Fox Guard was thrown in as a bonus with Star Fox Zero. Star Fox Guard is the better game.

April 22, 2008 Yo, what pins you got? TWEWY was co-developed by Square and Jupiter, the Picross people.

April 20, 2018 Boy.

April 20, 2009 Do you ever think about how the Wii got three Excite racing games and no F-Zero games?

April 20, 2018 How much are factory sealed cardboard boxes of cardboard worth?

April 20, 2011 The day after Portal 2, SOCOM 4, and Mortal Kombat released, PSN shut down for over 3 weeks. @patrickklepek.bsky.social had constant updates.

April 19, 2005 There could still be $5000 inside here.

April 19, 2011 Kollector’s Edition or Tournament Edition? Look, when one of your favorite franchises makes a comeback like this, sometimes ya gotta go all out. A fight stick with traditional MK button layout is pretty silly though. And yes, that’s a set of Scorpion/Sub-Zero book ends.

April 19, 2011 The PlayStation version of Portal 2 was the first console game to feature Steam support including cross-play and cloud saves. It also included a code to download the Steam version of the game.

85 minutes of wrestling in 4 hours. 4 of the 7 matches were less than 9 minutes.

April 18, 1994 A somewhat influential game.

April 18, 2005 Probably not the most popular thing on the DS Download Station at Nintendo's E3 booth.

April 18, 1994 A somewhat influential game.

April 18, 2022 Everyone loves crankin’ it.

April 18, 2006 Xbox fans rejoice as Final Fantasy has made its way to their console. Just… not the way they had envisioned.

The latest long box gatherings. Down to single digits now (94/102).

April 17, 2012 The day CD Projekt Red discovered consoles.

April 17, 2007 Try explaining to a kid these days that to transfer all your Xbox games from a 20 GB HDD to a 120 GB HDD you needed buy this weird cable.

April 16, 2013 NetherRealm had already proved that story modes in fighting games could be good. And then they did it again.

April 16, 2006 Your brain is so much older now.

April 16, 1998 “Grab a mop! There’s gonna be guts on the ceiling!” Sadly, one of the last projects Phil Hartman worked on.

18 people now. 7 reviews this year on @giantbomb.com. Already the most since 2019. giantbomb.com/reviews

April 15, 2014 Man. Machine. The fusion.

April 15, 2003 The demand has never been so frothing.

April 15, 2016 An absurdly large box for a 3DS game. Bravely Second is the second Bravely Default game but it is not Bravely Default II. Makes sense.

April 15, 2008 Remember when Sony tried to tell us that rumble was a “last gen” feature and it was time for motion controls? It only took 17 months to fix that.

April 14, 2003 Remember when Camelot was allowed to make things other than mediocre Mario sports games?

April 14, 2015 Don’t call it ten. (but it’s ten)

Not gonna lie, 12 years later and I still haven't taken a better photo than that bottle smash.

April 13, 2014 The first PAX Rumble. This is me trying not to laugh with an angry D-Leazy in my face. The funniest part of the photo to me though is either Patrick Klepek's unmistakable silhouette taking the photo or John Drake on the floor vacuuming up all the broken glass.

April 13, 2010 Hey, remember Splinter Cell?

April 13, 2012 No, I certainly did not buy some 3DS games on clearance just to get the Club Nintendo points. That’d be silly. Why would you suggest that?

April 13, 1992 The GOAT.

I'm pretty jaded when it comes to...everything. Darby Allin gets an audible reaction out of me more than anyone. I don't know if that's good or bad. #AEWDynasty

April 12, 2014 The Giant Bomb panel ends with the a preview of the first League of Heels show.

April 12, 2005 It's still wild that a whole playable character was only available by getting the Limited Edition version.
